Stroller: double vs single

[ejayne2]

Hi all. Trying to decide which stroller to go with for my DD5 and DS3.
Our options are
2 cheapie umbrella strollers
Double jogger - BOB we own
Rent a double city mini from apple strollers
What would you recommend.
Thanks

Citi mini double for sure! So easy to maneuver. Easy for the buses and comfy for the kiddos! We just used one for my 2 and 6 year olds in February. I wanted to buy one when we got home. If only my 6 year old used one at home.

Rent the double stroller. We had one last December and we are renting another one this upcoming December. Seriously it's a no brainer.

Rent a double. It is a lifesaver in the parks and so easy to use!

Do NOT use an umbrella stroller for your older child. It will be hard to push/maneuver and your back will kill you by the end of the trip. Just rent the double or bring your own double jogger, although the city mini should fit on the trams and such much easier.

Rent a double but I would go with the city elite since you have an older kid. Higher height and weight limit

Thanks all we decided to rent the city mini from apple. The price couldn't be beat.

Has anyone bought a cheap double stroller, folding-type, like this?:

Someone suggested buying one -- this is $66 -- and shipping it directly from Amazon to the resort.

Do you guys think that's a bad idea?

EDITED TO ADD: OKAY, NEVERMIND THE ABOVE REMARK~! I JUST READ THE APPLE REVIEWS, AND CHECKED THE COST OF RENTING FROM APPLE, AND IT CAME TO $33 INCLUDING DELIVERY FOR A DOUBLE STROLLER. SO I MADE MY RESERVATION. THANKS FOR THE TIP!
